Isn't that just a cruise missile

I suppose missiles have fins, not wings. which are basically big fins.

Yes but the difference is Iran spent 70% of its GDP on them for the last 5 years so they have to pretend they are magical to justify it

They made it a lot cheaper than a cruise missile at least

Not really, cruise missles are not expensive in terms of manufacturing cost, they are expensive because of the MIC, it's a feature not a bug, sometimes I wonder if americans really understand how wealthy americans are

If you can integrate a picket of underwater drones that counter torpedos and are able to launch underwater to air drone swarms it changes Naval warfare to a dark forest of submarine drone carrier wolfpacks.

>cruise missles are not expensive in terms of manufacturing cost, they are expensive because of the MIC
Mutt tomahawk missiles are definitely more expensive in terms of manufacturing cost. Imagine spending more money on complicated engine that could last more than it's one time use. Always thinking 99% success rate won't make things cheaper. And large cruise missiles are more easy to stop than swarms of chink jet powered mini cruise. That philosophy is outdated.

>99% success rate
Is there some DoD procurement standard doctrine p(kill) maxxing?
Even interceptor drones / missiles meant to intercept cheap enemy air support are optimized for the wrong metric. A cheap sortie capable interceptor drone would be more effective as it can saturate the front.
Its like reusable rockets with SpaceX, reusable drones

I think its starwars legacy interception doctrine to counter strategic nukes
